Fostering & adoption 😍😍 so near and dear to my heart. While I kinda understand why the author decided to use Avery for the “dad” moment, I personally thought it was underwhelming & not as heart clinching if she had instead used it for Ryder bc of his journey & it definitely would’ve been much more powerful 🤷🏻‍♀️ anyway, Kirt Graves continues to amaze me with his talent. I love Avery & Ryder together & Chris is literally the cherry on top of their family unit. Think I have an idea who the next book is about & I’ll need a break for a bit. Listened via Anyplay.

Wow. This one had a serious punch & while there were plenty of opportunities to chuckle, I was seriously gobsmacked & I honestly felt that the wrap up was rather fast. I like reading about home life in the books I read however I did feel that way too much emphasis was put on the stress of the situation & greatly detracted from my full enjoyment that has been built up by the recent 4 books I’ve read connected with this one.

This group is just another one that I would love to be a part of. Needs remembering, that Cameron was groomed as an older middle school student & since that was exposed his life has been full of being told he doesn’t know who he is. Anyway, Jonah I have been rooting for since book 1 & I’m so glad he got his story told in full as opposed to thru someone else’s. Listened via Anyplay.

Ooh it’s rare that I like former bully to lovers but this one was a treat. Loss of a parent on screen so heads up. Listened via Anyplay.

New to me author. Love the pair of Tim Paige & Iggy Toma narrating. This story, has feels & heart, gave me plenty of opportunities for laughter & although I really got frustrated with Murph towards the end… it finished well & didn’t feel rushed. Listened via Anyplay.

Ooh! I liked this one 🥰 loved being introduced to Gary Furlong’s narration & even though I’m totally reading these books out of order, this one has a kid & pets!!! The best of both IMHO & they aren’t used often enough in gay romance again my opinion as I’m still broadening my reading of this genre. Anyway, loved that we get a story for Emmett & Ty!!! Definitely felt the author (also new to me) dealt with his mother really well, she even made me mad for a minute. Listened via Anyplay.
